11 Alarms and faults
Alarms are shown in the alarm line of the display in the form of
text. The text is displayed with a particular background color as a
function of alarm priority:
If more than one alarm is active, the device responds as follows:
• Multiple alarms of different priorities: The device displays the
alarm with the highest priority. Alarms with a lower priority do
not appear until the higher-priority alarm is no longer active.
• Multiple alarms of identical priority: The device displays the
alarms in rotation.
• Technical alarms predominate. They cannot be muted.
Technical alarms are generated if no ventilation by the device
is possible.
Alarm color Priority Meaning
Red High priority
High-priority alarms warn of imminent
fatal or irreversible patient injuries or
of device faults.
Yellow Medium priority
Medium-priority alarms warn of
immediate reversible patient injuries
or of minor device faults.
Turquoise Low priority
Low-priority alarms warn of delayed
minor injuries or inconvenience to the
patient or minor restrictions on the
device.
